1 100 BIBLE LESSONS These lessons were originally given at Manila, Philippines, in 1958 and 1959 by former missionary to China, Alban Douglas. Give these lessons to people you visit, youth groups, hospital patients, church visitors and new members. Use them in Sunday School, bus ministry, jail services, nursing homes, Christian schools, small discussion groups and many other places. God s Word will answer your questions and help solve your problems. LESSON 7 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ONE BELIEVES ON THE LORD INTRODUCTION My theology teacher, Mr. Swenson at the Briercrest Bible Institute, said that the moment a sinner accepted Christ 38 things happened, though he may not be conscious of more than sins forgiven or peace or happiness. In the illustration of a motor running, gears engaging and then the moment that the driver releases the clutch many, many things happen but perhaps all the driver knows is that the car is in motion. Actually perhaps a hundred things have happened which he will gradually learn. Rev. Ray Frame has divided these various things into several neat categories. I. IN RELATION TO GOD THE FATHER 1. ACCESS to God s grace. Eph. 2:18, For through Him (Christ) we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. We have access first to salvation, then to prayer. Eph. 3:12, In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of Him. 2. ADOPTION as a son into God s family. Gal. 4:5, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Eph. 1:5, Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ 3. INHERITANCE. Acts 26:18, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified 4. ELECTED. 1 Pet. 1:2, Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father Eph. 1:4, chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world. John 15:16, Ye have not chosen (elected, election) Me, but I have chosen you 5. CHILD OF GOD. John 1:12, But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name. 1 John 3:1, Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God 1

2 6. HEAVENLY CITIZENSHIP. Phil. 3:20, For our conversation (citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. 7. HEIR OF GOD. Rom. 8:17, And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ Gal. 3:29, And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. 8. NEW CREATION. 2 Cor. 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature (creation): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. We were born with the old nature, the fallen Adamic nature; now we have God s nature. 9. SERVANT OF GOD. Rom. 6:22, But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God Rom. 1:1, Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ 10. PRIEST OF GOD. 1 Pet. 2:9, But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood 1 Pet. 2:5, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 11. RECONCILIATION WITH GOD. Rom. 5:10, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Eph. 2:12-13, Ye were without Christ aliens strangers without God but now in Christ Jesus made nigh (reconciled) by the Blood of Christ. 12. SANCTIFICATION. 1 Cor. 6:11, And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Acts 26:18 lists sanctification as a direct result of conversion. II. IN RELATION TO GOD THE SON 13. ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED. Eph. 1:6, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the Beloved. For Jesus sake we are granted full welcome into God s family, presence and possessions. 14. BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST S BODY. 1 Cor. 12:13, For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body (the invisible Body of Christ) Gal. 3:27, For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 15. BURIED WITH CHRIST. Rom. 6:4, Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Col. 3:3, For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 16. LOVE GIFT TO THE SON FROM THE FATHER. John 17:9, I pray for them which Thou hast given Me; for they are Thine.
